south. The energies are separation,
sacrifice, and manifestation. The
associated day is Muluc (water); the associated color is white.

The running theme of my thoughts for quite some time has
been very simply trying to find my way - to balance making money with doing
something worthwhile. I’ve been
searching for a new job and have had no luck-which is strange because I’ve
never encountered this problem in the past. When I shuffled the cards of this
mysterious deck I simply asked to be guided and to take into consideration the
events of the past two days.

Astonishment is what I experienced as I looked at the cards
and consulted the book for meaning.

The first card I pulled was Overcome. I looked at the
image and immediately thought that it’s been a long hard climb uphill but, I’m
now able to see where I’ve been. Notice the rainbow in this image. This tells me that there are better things
waiting for me.

The second: Patience. The
appearance of this card indicates a thrust toward successful completion to a
recent effort. It can be an indicator card that the endeavor, relationship or
issue in question is a righteous consideration. Consider it a green light for intensified
focus and progress. This one just about knocked me out of my chair! I just completed a meeting tonight that could
very well be THE “endeavor” that this card is indicating.

The third card: North...and I didn’t know what to make
of that one until I read about the Four Directions in the book. Once again, the astounded look was on my
face...and goose bumps on my arms. Paying
special attention to the energies, separation, sacrifice and manifestation I
realized that the “new endeavor” would make it necessary to give up some of the
things that I’ve been doing. And of
course, the challenge here is “emotional entanglement”. Take note also that it is winter and that’s
when the NORTH dominates.

Having only used these cards for one very small reading I’m
left with the impression that there’s so much MORE to this deck than I had
initially thought. I look forward to
working with it and exploring other types of readings. The deck and book set is a wealth of
information on the Mayan culture and provides an extensive bibliography for
those who wish to explore even more.

I can think of several people that I will indeed email about
this deck and I know they will also see the intensity and wisdom that can be
gained by getting to know these cards.
I’ve just learned something very valuable today and it’s so basic that I
can’t believe I needed a reminder. The
images on initial view didn’t seem appealing to me and I wondered if a book so
detailed would be too much for me to take in – I’m so glad I decided to just
pick up the cards and shuffle them! This
is one of those decks that I think you should just lay out three cards and see
where it takes you.

A word on the card backs...on first glance I thought of a
Mandela, and then I noticed the humming birds.
Is it a coincidence that I received a card in the mail today with the
image of humming bird on the front?
Interesting stuff to consider-especially since there was a check in the
card and my thoughts are so focused on bringing money into my life. Another interesting thought is that I’ve been
looking at The Lenormand and have become increasingly interested in working
with that system. Today (my day off) was
to be the day that I really “got into” figuring The Lenormand out...I kept
picking it up and then putting it down again and in general experiencing that
feeling that I should be doing something else.
My eye eventually rested on The Star Road Map and I heard myself saying
“okay, you first”. Oddly, I became
engrossed and time flew by! Now to me,
that’s a sign that a deck is pretty powerful and that it has something it wants
to tell you!

I plan to do an “Official Interview” with this mystery deck;
I can’t wait to see what it wants me to know...all those special little
details! It’s not every deck that I feel
a connection like this to and it’s for sure going to support hours of learning
to me!
